The Stars beat the Edmonton Oilers in a Saturday matinee despite being outshot 11-2 in the first period. Gavin talks about the goaltending from Jake Oettinger once again keeping the Stars in it whenever they get outshot like that in the first period by not letting the Oilers score. Once again, Gavin asks why can’t the Stars start these games quicker? The third period they lit the lamp three times and were absolutely buzzing. Why does it take so long for them to get going? They finally scored a power play goal and it was a big one to get them on the board. Hear from Pete DeBoer and Matt Duchene after the win and Gavin goes through tweets sent in by listeners. 

It was bound to happen eventually, the Stars lose for the first time this season in a 3-2 final to the Washington Capitals. Host Gavin Spittle and David Castillo from D Magazine talk about the loss. David says at least Dallas isn’t the Colorado Avalanche who are off to a horrendous start to the season. David says the Stars are in cruise control to begin the season as they just haven’t looked great to begin the season. The power play is struggling and Gavin wants to see a change because it looks the same as last year’s power play. The guys get into the Jake Oettinger contract extension and discuss if they think Roope Hintz can be an elite Cup winning center in the NHL.
